Should I donate through GoFundMe or give directly to the foundation?

Every channel funds the same thing: Drake and Vivian's $1.6 million gene therapy trial. Each week, the family updates the GoFundMe campaign to include gifts received through checks, Venmo, and PayPal, so the "amount left" reflects everything.

GoFundMe is quick, works on any phone, and makes it easy for friends to see the campaign and share it. Your donation and comment also encourage others. Online platforms generally charge payment processing fees, and GoFundMe may ask about an optional tip to the platform, which you can set to zero.

Giving directly through PayPal, Venmo, or a check mailed to the foundation works just as well. A check avoids processing fees entirely, which can matter for larger gifts.

If you plan a large gift, a gift of stock, or a gift from a foundation, please email Info@DrakeRaydenFoundation.com first so the family can make sure it's handled correctly. Otherwise, the best way to give is simply the one you'll actually use today. Choose how to give.
